Formula E Season 10 :Everything you want to know about ADV News, Photos & Exclusive stories.

<p>Formula E's thrilling action returns this weekend in Sao Paulo, Brazil, for only the second time, after an unexpected hiatus caused by the cancellation of the Hyderabad E-Prix. The all-electric racing series has been on a long break since the final race in Diriyah at the end of January, which could slow down Nick Cassidy's lead in the championship. Regardless of the break, Cassidy is prepared to carry on his remarkable run as he tackles the São Paulo Street Circuit in Brazil. He has maintained a podium finish in all three races this season. The race in São Paulo last year featured a peloton-style competition that was fiercely contested. The unpredictable qualifying session saw Stoffel Vandoorne take the pole position, with Antonio Felix da Costa proving to be the best Porsche driver, finishing thirteenth. During the race, Mitch Evans won, spearheading a dominating Jaguar powertrain trio that also included <a href="https://www.autox.com/exclusive-stories/interview-ive-seen-how-quickly-things-can-change-nick-cassidy-on-his-formula-e-championship-lead-116317/">Nick Cassidy</a> and Sam Bird. Due to problems with energy management, Vandoorne's challenge faded to sixth place, despite leading for a significant portion of the race. While defending champion Jake Dennis had his race cut short due to an early crash, Da Costa finished in fourth place. The event stood out due to the drivers' deliberate hesitation to take the lead, a strategy that was common in Formula E during the Gen3 era.</p>

Tests resumed on Thursday at 2 p.m. local time after the FIA conducted an inquiry and found a satisfactory solution.</p>

<p>With a time of 1 minute, 25.661 seconds, Edoardo Mortara set the early pace, although Mahindra fielded only one vehicle owing to damage sustained in a fire on Tuesday.

<p>Jake Dennis, the current champion, came in 12th, only 0.04 seconds behind the leader. Since he had to make way for favoured rookie Zane Maloney on Tuesday morning, this practice was his first time behind the wheel of the car. Due to the limited number of races, most teams stuck with their normal drivers; Porsche was the lone exception, running a rookie in Gabriela Jilkova before handing off to da Costa.</p>

<p>Both Dan Ticktum and Sergio Sette Camara, drivers for ERT, finished last in their respective sessions, with Sette Camara completing only eight laps owing to a battery problem. In contrast, Sebastien Buemi of Envision logged the most laps (75) and finished in 17th place, 0.5 seconds behind the leader.</p>

Together with our debut on the streets of Tokyo and races in other major global markets like Brazil, Germany, Saudi Arabia and the UK, we have built a calendar that has the potential to engage billions of people in the exciting, entertaining, electric future of motorsport.”&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Marek Nawarecki, Director of the FIA Circuit Sport Department, said: “The 2023/24 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship season promises to play host to some fascinating action, with a range of circuits that will truly showcase the qualities of the GEN3 car. In addition to the return of Hyderabad, Formula E will be heading back to China, whilst also organising a brand new race in Tokyo. The growing presence of the championship in Asia is a very positive development, that will benefit fans and manufacturers alike.”</p>

<p>There were some hiccups at the start of the first-ever Hyderbad E-Prix, but the event went off without a hitch and the drivers were quite complimentary of the track layout.</p>


Formula E: Hyderabad E-Prix Retained for 2024 Calendar, Race on February 10 Next Year

Next year, on February 10, 2024, the Hyderabad E-Prix will take place in India, marking Formula E's official return to the country. Following a meeting of the World Motor Sport Council, a 16-round schedule including the new event was announced.

<p>McLaren has revealed their Season 10 livery, which features the now-iconic papaya-infused colour palette. Staying true to the McLaren brand, the Formula E Team has updated its livery for the upcoming second season of the all-electric single-seater racing series by adding electrifying lines that highlight the sharp angles of the GEN3 car. McLaren has high hopes for Season 10 after a successful debut in season 9. Jake Hughes is expected to expand on his impressive first campaign when he returns in 2024. Sam Bird, a seasoned veteran of Formula E who brings a plethora of knowledge to McLaren, is accompanying him. The McLaren papaya will be shared by Bird and Hughes for the upcoming official preseason test at Valencia's Circuit Ricardo Tormo. The bright papaya colour is a signature and a clear message to fans across the world that McLaren Racing is a significant part of their Formula E presence, and it makes an even more dramatic statement for season 10.</p>

<h2>Formula E: McLaren Season 10 Driver Line-Up</h2>

<p><img alt="Formula E Neom McLaren 2 " height="720" src="/uploads/2023/10/Formula-E-Neom-McLaren-2-.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>With Jake Hughes still on board and the arrival of Sam Bird, McLaren is ready to take the next step in bringing their eye-catching design to the forefront of the grid in the Formula E season 10. After an impressive debut in Formula E, Hughes is preparing for his second season in the series. While he did earn two pole positions and multiple top-five finishes in his first season, he could not manage to finish on the podium. Hughes's season 10 prospects are excellent, and he hopes to finally reach the top of the podium this season.</p>

<p>The addition of Bird to the McLaren squad fills the vacuum left by René Rast. Bird hopes to make up for lost time with a solid season with McLaren after his three years with Jaguar weren't as successful as hoped. At his peak, Bird is unquestionably among the Formula E field's quickest rivals.</p>

<p>In preparation for Season 10, McLaren team principal Ian James comments: “We are building on everything we learnt in Season 9. We are continually evolving as a team and this livery represents that. I can’t wait to see the car with this new livery on track at all the iconic locations we will be visiting in Season 10.”</p>

<h2>Formula E: McLaren’s Season 9 Performance</h2>

<p><img alt="Formula E 1 " height="720" src="/uploads/2023/06/Formula-E-1-.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>McLaren's first Formula E season was a mixed bag, beginning on a high note when Jake Hughes qualified first in the third race and ending on a negative note when René Rast finished third in that same event (Diriyah R2). During their debut season in the competition, the Woking-based team was led by Hughes, who proceeded to impress by capturing another pole at the Monaco E-Prix. Overall, the qualifying performance was quite good, but energy efficiency proved a major obstacle.</p>

<p>McLaren's powerplant provider Nissan also had trouble in the 2023 races, as did most other powertrain suppliers. Rast was unable to keep McLaren in the points for the final 10 races due to this.</p>

<p>Hughes had a great beginning to the season, but they ended up with only three points after seven races. McLaren's troubles in the latter part of the season are highlighted by the fact that the team earned 96.5 per cent of their total points in the first nine races.</p>


Formula E: McLaren Refreshes Stunning Papaya Livery For Season 10

For season 10 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, the McLaren Team has unveiled its updated look. The distinctive McLaren Papaya orange paint job is easily identifiable as the iconic racing colour associated with the team.

<p>Jaguar TCS Racing has unveiled their GEN3 contender for Season 10, retaining the distinctive asymmetric livery introduced in the previous season for their dynamic duo, Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy. With championship runner-up Nick Cassidy now driving alongside third-place finisher Mitch Evans, Jaguar TCS Racing has one of the strongest driver lineups in the league heading into Season 10. This bodes well for the team's prospects of a consistent run in the top three. The striking black-white-and-gold livery, became a regular sight at the front of the Formula E pack in Season 9, especially in the capable hands of Mitch Evans, who tallied an incredible four victories in 2023. At the official pre-season test at the Circuit Ricardo in Valencia on October 24, the team's fully charged Season 10 Formula E vehicle will make its track debut.</p>

<h2>Formula E: Jaguar Season 10 Drivers Line-up</h2>

<p>Mitch Evans has extended his contract with Jaguar TCS Racing for multiple years, guaranteeing that he will continue to race with the British team in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship beginning of Season 10. Due to the departure of longtime colleague Sam Bird, the agreement between Evans and Jaguar TCS Racing makes them the longest-tenured driver and team partnership in Formula E history.</p>

<p><img alt="Formula E Jaguar TCS Racing 1 " height="720" src="/uploads/2023/10/Formula-E-Jaguar-TCS-racing-1-.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The 2023 title contender and Formula E race winner Nick Cassidy will team up with fellow Kiwi Mitch Evans. With a combined 15 victories, 37 podium finishes, 11 pole positions, and 1076 championship points, the two New Zealanders will likely be one of the strongest driver lineups on the grid.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In 2023, Cassidy had his best season to date, finishing second in the Drivers' World Championship and taking the title fight down to the final weekend of the season, which led to his joining Jaguar TCS Racing.</p>

<h2>Formula E: Jaguar TCS in Gen3 Era</h2>

<p>During the Gen3 season of Formula E, Jaguar, a major manufacturer in the series, got off to a strong start and kept going in the right direction, something they'd been doing for a while. Jaguar, in partnership with Porsche, has shown one of the most successful transfers from Gen2 to Gen3 and has developed the most sought-after powertrain for the 2023 season. Most manufacturers in Formula E have developed powertrains that are particularly good at either setting a lap time or conserving battery life. However, Jaguar stood out as the only manufacturer that designed a powertrain that blended both factors.</p>

<p>The British team's play was outstanding throughout Season 9. Jaguar, fielding four cars, won more races than any other team. Four victories were celebrated by the factory team,&nbsp;while Jaguar customer team Envision Racing, led by Nick Cassidy, also scored four triumphs. As a result of these astounding results, Jaguar finished as the winning manufacturer in eight races during the first Gen3 season. In other words, a Jaguar-powered driver won an incredible 50% of the races.</p>

<p>With a total of six victories between their two teams, Porsche surpassed all other manufacturers to take second place. Porsche also won the Drivers' Championship courtesy of the efforts of Andretti's Jake Dennis. However, Jaguar won the Constructors' Championship, with credit going entirely to their customer team rather than the entire factory squad.</p>


Formula E: Jaguar TCS Racing Unveils Updated Black and White Livery for Season 10

Jaguar TCS Racing, the runner-up of season nine, has decided to retain its unconventional livery for the upcoming season 10, with only minor modifications made to its visually striking black and white design.

<p>Sam Bird will join fellow Brit Jake Hughes at the Woking-based McLaren Formula E team for Season 10 of the FIA Formula E Championship. Bird, who had been racing for Jaguar TCS Racing but was released at the end of the season, has replaced René Rast and is a welcome boost to the Woking team thanks to his speed and his experience racing in all nine seasons of Formula E. McLaren had a rough season in 2023, the first year of Gen3, due to the lack of energy efficiency in its race car. As a result, the team finished on the podium just once. With Bird on board, the team should be able to move up from this year's disappointing P8 finish in the Constructors' Championship thanks in large part to his wealth of experience and talent.</p>

<h2>Formula E: Sam Bird Super Excited to Join McLaren</h2>

<p>McLaren joined Formula E at the start of season 9, effectively taking over Mercedes' place after the German manufacturer withdrew after winning back-to-back teams' and drivers' titles with Nyck de Vries and Stoffel Vandoorne. Bird will be competing alongside Jake Hughes, who renewed his contract with McLaren just last week and is returning for a second year.</p>

Throughout his time in Formula E, Sam has proven himself to be an impressive talent, and we are eager to leverage his experience and expertise to help bring the NEOM McLaren Formula E Team further success in Season 10. Alongside Jake, I’m confident that we have one of the strongest pairings on the Formula E grid. Bring on Season 10!”</p>

At the conclusion of the 2022/23 season, he departed from Jaguar TCS Racing following a tenure lasting three seasons.</p>

For the next Formula E season, Sam Bird will replace Rene Rast in the McLaren squad. Sam Bird has competed in Formula E since its inception in 2014, competing for Virgin Racing, Envision Racing, and Jaguar.

<p>Nick Cassidy, a multiple-time winner in Formula E, has signed a multiyear contract with Jaguar, switching from customer team Envision Racing. The New Zealander won four races over the season—at Berlin, Monte Carlo, Portland, and London—but still finished second in the drivers' standings to Jake Dennis. Envision's final victory helped them win the team's championship since they had been tied with the works Jaguar squad going into the final race. Cassidy raced for Envision for three years in Formula E, and the two teams collaborated closely in 2023 due to sharing the same powertrain for the Gen3 vehicles. Cassidy will now compete for Jaguar alongside fellow New Zealander Mitch Evans, who finished second in the drivers' standings this season by only two points.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Nick Cassidy Wins Berlin E Prix" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/04/Nick-Cassidy-wins-Berlin-E-Prix.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The three-year agreement Cassidy had with Envision expired at the end of July.

<p><img alt="Formula E Jaguar Sam Bird 1 " height="720" src="/uploads/2023/08/Formula-E-Jaguar-Sam-Bird-1-.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>During his tenure with Jaguar spanning three years, Bird achieved notable success, securing two race victories, attaining seven podium positions, and accumulating a total of 233 points. Following the inaugural season with GEN3 technology, the British driver achieved a commendable eighth-place finish, garnering significant acclaim for his pivotal contribution to the team's triumph in the realm of Formula E. Bird made his 100th race start in Race 1 of the Formula E season, which was held in Diriyah.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mitch Evans, teammate who was also vying for the first position, collided with him in Hyderabad. In Jakarta, where Evans was in seventh place, the two had another incident that cost a lot of time and may have ultimately decided the Drivers' and Teams' World Championships. The atmosphere in London's paddock was filled with conjecture and anticipation as the Formula E championship approached its season finale. Before Jaguar formally announced his departure, there was a lot of speculation about Bird, with rumours circulating that he may join NEOM McLaren for Season 10.</p>
